Decision Making
R. E Construction : Its' Now or Never !
When Engineer Romeo Estabillo finished his Civil Engineering course at Mapua Institute
of Technology, he took the board examination and passed it in 1981. Wanting to start
independently, he went back to his hometown (Santiago City) to organize his own construction
firm. In his first few years of operation, he accepted contracts for the construction of residential
houses. As he gained experience, his clients grew in number, and even the most prominent
persons in the province of Isabela availed of his services
At the start, he hired two assistants to help him in his daily routine as a contractor. One
of the two assistants. Mr. Silvino Santiago, was a third year civil engineering student who had
stopped schooling due to financial difficulties. His main task was draftsman. His duty was to
produce all documents relating to the physical requirements of the various contracts entered into
by his boss. Among these documents are the building plan, specifications, bill of material building
permit, etc. His additional duty was to assist engineer Estabillo in supervising the foreman and
workers of the various construction sites
The second assistant, Mr. Romulo Mamaril, was assigned to coordinate purchasing,
bookkeeping, and other related administrative activities. At the third year of operations, Engineer
Estabillo was already directing operations in his newly constructed office inside his residential
compound. By this time, two more female employees were hired to assist in the various tasks
performed in the office.
By 1994, Engineer Estabillo reviewed his company's payroll. It indicated that he has in his
employ six full time civil engineers, two draftsmen, ten administrative personnel, one messenger
and one security guard. The foremen and laborers working at the various projects ware
contractual,
By June 1996, Engineer Estabillo felt that business was continuously growing, so he will
have to secure the services of four additional civil engineers on a full-time basis. As he was
directly supervising all operations, he now feels that he may not able to perform his functions
effectively if he will push through with the plan. He wants to make a decision, but he is
apprehensive. He thinks operations are now more complex that decision-making must be a little
scientific. With this thought, he pondered on how he will go about solving the problem.
